Let's relive the 1980's

Let's relive the 1980's

Hiya everyone!!!!

I loved the 80's and I thought I would start a forum where we can relive our favourite songs. bands, TV shows, movies, fashions, celebrities, world events etc. If I had a time machine I would go back and experience it all, because as they say at the time you don't realise how special it is until it is over.

So if you grew up in the 80's tell us your experiences, what you loved and remembered etc. If you missed the 80's that is fine. we can tell you what it was like, how things were done etc. So please come and join me and reflect on this great decade......

I am going to start off by showing you one of my fav songs from one of my two fav bands (The Beatles being the other one). Still love this song as much as when I first heard it..... written by drummer Roger Taylor inspired by words from his young son.....Radio Ga Ga

Which indecently inspired the name of a current pop star...................

Her after-gig party was one of the all-time best parties I've ever been too. Waiters dressed in medieval garb carrying trays of amazing cocktails, and all the who's who of sydney indie music scene at the time.

@Scarecrowe just remembered another whole chapter of the 80s for me - the New Romantic scene - Spandau Ballet, Depeche Mode, UltraVox, Culture Club, oz bands Subway, GangGajang, Urban Pilots etc but will have to get offline because the weather is turning nasty again here. At least the garden is loving it. I'll definitely be back!!! Thanks again for starting this thread xx

Ha ha ha re the Norman Gunston clip LOVE it!

Goodnight all @TAB @Appleblossom @Shaz51 @Adge @Bill16 and sorry if I missed anyone. What a great night it's been.
